Codependency
Jane Bennett-Elias
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC
It's great to be a nice person. It's another thing to be someone who feels depleted and resentful because you feel you give your all to those around you without receiving the same treatment in return. Are your moods defined by how others feel about you? Do you have trouble setting and keeping boundaries with others? These might be signs of codependent patterning. Patterns can be changed, however. You can learn how to have good boundaries and still be a nice person.

Gloria Ortiz
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, ALMFT
As a therapist, I recognize how codependency can affect one's capacity to identify unhealthy interactions. You'll learn to establish healthy boundaries through tailored strategies and compassionate guidance, reclaim your autonomy, and cultivate deeper self-awareness and fulfillment.

Emily Zibell
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, NCC
Sometimes we get into patterns where we put others before ourselves and end up neglecting our own needs in the process. When working with codependency patterns, I think it is important to relearn who we are as individuals and let that set the stage to better set boundaries with others and have healthier and more fulfilling relationships.

Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
The concept of Co-Dependency was developed as a way of explaining how family members of alcoholics, especially their spouses, became emotionally ill apparently as a result of living with an alcoholic for years.
"Co" is a prefix that means "like" or "with" - the family member becomes sick like and with "the dependent" (the person dependent on a chemical). There are several common problems that often go along with life with an alcoholic or drug abuser, including their unpredictable moods, selfish and irresponsible behavior, angry outbursts which may include verbal or physical abuse, broken promises and commitments, embarrassing public behavior, financial irresponsibility, legal problems, and inability to return love or affection. However, most chemically dependent people have periods when they function well, and this generates the hope that they will stay well, quit or control their chemical use, and become responsible and loving for good.

Teri L. Murphy
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., LCPC
Codependency is defined as follows: "It is an emotional and behavioral condition that affects an individual's ability to have a healthy, mutually satisfying relationship. It is also known as “relationship addiction” because people with codependency often form or maintain relationships that are one-sided, emotionally destructive and/or abusive." Codependency is a condition that affects thinking, feelings, and behavior. It often stems from learned behavior in a dysfunctional family environment. Together my client and I unwind where the codependency stems from. My approach in therapy with clients who are codependent is solution oriented that help free the individual from the bondage of the toxic system. Much of my advanced training in codependency stems from my training as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor.
